Size Guide

Sizing Notes

As you can see from the photos, these old fashioned trousers sit higher on the body than modern pants do.

For best fit, measure your torso (in inches) just below your belly button, and select this size of trousers.

In many cases, this will be one or more size above your customary pants size.

Inseam

Our trousers come with a 36 inch inseam. If you need them shorter, you will need to have them tailored locally to your desired fit.

Great fit and quality.

The pants are well made great quality. Very soft to the touch. I ordered Size 48 originally and returned and went with a 46. I would suggest measuring around the belly snugly for your measurements the pants fit loosely baggy in the legs and seat.

Better than Walmart!

This material will last years, unlike other inferior products. Fits good and functions well in the saddle. Won't rip like normal jeans.

Real Quality

The fabric is such good quality, and the workmanship is also sturdy. They're too long for my husband, but that's easily fixed and he's really happy with them.

Great pants

I've been eyeing this site for quite a while, so when I had to assemble an Edgar Allan Poe costume, I decided to finally pull the trigger on trying some of these items out. The brushed cotton clothes are QUITE heavy but beautifully made. These items are well worth the money, feel durable, and are stitched well.

I'm AFAB and quite curvaceous (46" chest, 40" waist, 48" hips). When the directions suggested taking the size just below the belly button, they ended up WAAAYYYYYY too big. I took the average between my waist and hips and got the perfect size. Now I just have to have them tailored for length

Just one part of my old west outfit

Look real good! Can't wait to try 'em out on Thursday 10/2/25.

I do tours at an 1880's museum in Leeds, Utah. I dress the part, including a real Colt 45, in order to give the visitors the "feel" of the era. The pants will do an excellent job.

Amen

I'm creating a mid-1800s clergy outfit and these trousers, with the matching coat (and suspenders) arrived quickly and, though the material is thicker than I would like, they fit as sized and only needing to shorthen the sleeve length and trouser hem. Amen :-)

Nice pants!

I wear a 38" normal waist, measured where they say to and ordered the 42". It was a perfect fit, Heavy duty and made well. They are dry clean only but to loosen them up I put them in the dryer with a damp towel on a no heat setting for a bit. They are long and will need to be altered.

Incredible!

I can't express enough how the quality of these trousers are impeccable!
Don't hesitate....purchase them immediately! Bravo to this company!

Good quality

They are pretty impressive and the fit is good. Note that they are very long so you will probably have to hem them.

As advertised

These are a good item. Feels like cotton denim. Nice thick feel to them and true to the size chart.

Outstanding

I ordered this and several other items for my daughter's upcoming wedding. The entire package arrived several days earlier than expected, and I was skeptical of the purchase, but once receiving all the items I realized the material quality was high the fit was perfect and the price was great. I could not have bought a suit for the same price. I am amazed at the outstanding customer service from historical Emporium. I even had to change my pants size day after I ordered and it was corrected and I received the proper fit.

Great look and fit

I would have liked an option that is a staright leg to fit OVER boots with same look and cotton material.

They are great but..

They are wonderful they are everything i wanted but they dont fit. I got a size 38 same style from this site and they are grey and they fit perfectly not sure why these are so much smaller. Luckly im on a weightloss journey so they will fit soon

I'm a big man, and these fit after hemming.

I'm 6'2 and 360lbs, and these fit great, look great (and period correct), and did not shrink in the wash too much. If anything, I might have been able to go down a size (but they'll have plenty of room for winter long underwear). The only PITA was having to hem them, since they come ridiculously long. The fabric is very thick and durable.

Definitely Order Larger

The people who said order a couple of sizes up were a godsend. 2-4 sizes larger than you wear is a solid suggestion. I needed more than 2 sizes from my normal; I wear a 34-36 and needed a 40 in my case. Comfy pants, tho! Very comfy. Honestly wouldn't mind having a few pants that fit like these. Also when they tell you to plan on seeing a tailor to get these hemmed, they mean it. Plan to get these hemmed for your height. I had to return my first order to get the correct size, but the return was easy and free of any hassle. Would order again, but given the quality, I probably won't need to replace these any time soon.

Good quality

The only negative thing is they come in standard inseam length of 36”. Please offer other inseam sizes.

Just okay

Pants were okay and fits well but the quality is pretty poor.
Once again, not made in USA :(

I would gladly pay more for better quality and made in USA.
